I'm trying to typeset a rather complicated manuscript and I've run into two brick walls right at the end of the process. The first is that I can't for the life of me figure out how lilypond does staff fragments for manuscript annotation. If you look at the bottom of the first page of the fol

As one might have seen from my previous question, I'm trying to re-typset a manuscript that was published in 1919, and it has a way of marking pedals that I hadn't seen before. You can see an example of this marking here: http://www.dolmetsch.com/musicalsymbols.htm search for "The Raindrop".
